Enough is enough.

How much longer are Canadians going to tolerate a Canadian Soccer Association that had proven time and again it is incapable of managing the affairs of Canadian soccer. The CSA's track record speaks for itself:

The CSA has been unable to adequately prepare their flagship team, the senior men, for the last five World Cups qualifying tournaments. That adds up to twenty-two years of futility. The only thing they offer is excuses for this sad state.

1. The CSA has been unable to launch sustainable Canadian leagues, for both women and men.
2. The CSA has been a perpetual embarrassment when it comes to generating sufficient sponsorship revenue to operate national teams and programs. How many times have we heard how broke they are?
3. How can the CSA sell over one million tickets and still windup losing $2,000,000 in the process? Man, Kevan Pipe wasn't kidding around when he said it's going to be huge.
4. How on earth can the CSA turn down a $1,000,000's worth of sponsorship money that was offered to support the women's World Cup team. The CSA had the audacity to tell the would-be donor that their money would have to be distributed amongst all of CSA teams. Was that the same policy the CSA used with Hyundai, when that corporation came along with money for the U20 team in 2007? Did the CSA say to Hyundai, we are only going to accept your money if the women can have their fair share of it? If so, why didn't the women play some matches in Canada to prepare for the World Cup in China? But oh no, on the contrary, the Colin Linford had the nerve to say that hosting a women's match in Canada would bankrupt the CSA! Talk about some equestrian poop for gratitude.

5. The CSA failed to provide any means of preparation for the men's Olympic team.
6. How can the CSA turn down the following opportunity of a lifetime? Canada could have had home-field advantage by hosting the Women's Olympic qualifying tournament in Victoria, but oh no again. The CSA still hasn't figured out how to make a dollar by hosting a big-time soccer tournament. Somehow, every other country in the world has figured this one out.
7. The CSA hired a basketball man to run soccer.
8. The CSA fired a basketball man.
9. A basketball man sued the CSA for $1,500,000.
10. The CSA hired a figure skating man. What's next?

I can keep going for a while, but I think everyone gets the picture. It is blatantly obvious that the CSA model for soccer governance does not work. Have we had enough yet? If so, then it is time for action. We can't allow the CSA to continue screwing-up our game, time after time, and hope things will chance, it is time to put them out of our misery.

We need to call on every Canadian soccer player, both male and female, and ask them to reject any invitation to play on a CSA operated team, even if that means sacrificing the opportunity to play in a World Cup or Olympic tournament, because chances are, it ain't gonna happen anyway. Not with this CSA. If you agree, then cut, paste and send this to someone you know. Preferably to a national team player.
